Every year at Christmas time I make about 472 batches of cookies. And every year, this is the one that I have to triple because these puppies go FAST! They're everything a holiday cookie should be - sweet, spicy, chewy and yummy! So if you're looking for a new cookie to make - I urge you to try this one! Don't let the name fool you - it only refers to the chunky look they have when they're done baking. I assure you they are soft and wonderful!
Rocks
What You'll Need:
-1 c. butter
-1 1/2 c. packed brown sugar
-3 eggs
-3 c. all-purpose flour
-1 tsp. baking soda
-1/4 tsp. ground cloves
-1/4 tsp. ground allspice
-1 tsp. ground cinnamon
-Pinch of ground nutmeg
-2 c. raisins
-1 1/2 c. chopped walnuts
What You'll Do:
1. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each addition.
2. Sift and measure flour, and reserve two tablespoons to be used later. Mix remaining flour with baking soda and spices. Stir into the butter and sugar mixture.
3. Dredge raisins into the reserved flour then stir them into your batter along with the walnuts.
4. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
This recipe is supposed to yield 6 dozen, but I'd say it ends up being more like 3 dozen...maybe I just make my cookies big!
Give these guys a go!
